New Taunts!

I have a feeling I've posted this thread before, but who knows?

To the subject at hand: new taunts! Got any phrases you'd like to see available to the guards & thieves in 1.3? Some taunts you've always wanted to be able to shout our to your enemies? Maybe some teamwork phrases? List em here!

I'm also accepting any taunt voice samples, so if you want to get your voice in Thievery, grab that mic. Best way to get them to me is to come by #thievery on irc.starchat.net and DCC em.

<small>If not, either upload them somewhere and send me the url, or if all else fails and they're not too big, email them to me: dalai@blueyonder.co.uk</small>

Not so important phrases:
10) Will you quit hitting your stupid mace against the wall trying to hit the rats?
11) PLEEEEEEASE DON'T KILL ME MrTHIEF! HERE, TAKE EVERYTHING I HAVE!
12) <----- owned by thieves
13) Haven't I told ya NOT to place mines next to my whistlers? >:E
14) Relax! I was trying to para the thief not you dangit!
15) Duh me!
16) NEXT TIME GADGET! NEXT TIME!

If a french AI speech is needed for the next version I may try voice acting...

"Nothing has contributed so much to the corruption of the original idea of
Socialism as the belief that Russia is a Socialist country and that every act of its
rulers must be excused, if not imitated"
-George Orwell

I still love Male2: "Anybody Else Want Some?!" from UT. its soo cocky after killing someone... perhaps if you Find an english or German person with a good voice like that and have him say it with an accent!?

Or maybe something to that extent for the guards to say AFTER killing someone:

John Cleese with french accent in Monty Python and the Holy Grail... YES PLEASE! I like the German and Country guard voices (That one had me in stitches the first time I heard it). Silly French "I fart in your general direction!"s would be great.

1: I'm going to da bear pits tomorrow...ya wanna come with?
2: Come out and fight me to my face...taffer!! (I really want this one)
3: Who's there...who said that?
4: When are they gonna bring me my dinner, thats what I wanna know, when are they gonna bring me my dinner.
5: Why do I have to be the one down here in the cold...and the dark...and the damp.

Or maybe something to that extent for the guards to say AFTER killing someone:

- "You were a pansy, and I crushed you."
- "You are now scum from under my boot"
- "Get up, Girly Man"
- "Did your Sister teach you to fight?"
- "You fight like a big sissy"
- "You have the fighting skills of a girl"

and if they can say "I'll find you ya black jack whore" then they can say some things like that

Unless you're already planning to do that, a small suggestion: I'd love to see a simple "taunt" button/menu entry that just randomly selects one taunt and plays it, eg. like in Natural Selection.
Maybe also add that for "I saw something" and "Must've been the rats" from the guards? Ie. like if a guard sees a thief, he can just hit a button or select ONE thing from the voice menu, causing him to say a random one from a list of "I saw something" quotes ("What's that?", "Who goes there?", etc etc) to notify any nearby teammates; and when he sees the thief is gone, he just hits another button/chooses another entry from the menu and a random "Nothing here after all" quote is let off, implicitly telling the other players around to stand down.
Maybe it could even be possible to make the AI guards react to that...? Ie. if you hit the "What was that over there?" button and there's no other players around in a certain distance, an AI might choose to follow the player for a moment, and when a player uses the "nothing here" function, AI guards in his vicinity will calm down if they'd been suspicious...

Apart from that, I guess that 90% of all Thief quotes would make fine additions.

Thief taunts:
- (cocky) "Must've been the rats, eh?"
- "Hey, I'm over here! Here! Look at me when I'm talking to you!"
- "Psssst... hey, you over there!"
- "That'll teach him not to sleep on his post!"
- "Aww. That's gonna be a nice blain."
- "Phew... close one."

Guard taunts:
- "I see you there, taffer boy!"
- "That makes fifteen this month..."
- "Where the hell do those guys keep coming from?"
- "Now look! You've gotten the master's carpets all bloody!"
- "Be glad I killed you! I could've handed you to the Order of the Flame..."
